[Guidance prompt]
[You have unlocked Sekido]
The scene cuts to Doshi who was at first stunned when she suddenly thought
"Shadows spirit energy is back and it seems he unlocked a new ability...he actually had me worried there for a moment"
Doshi smiles as she then stared at Jaress who's is crouched in the ground clutching her left eye
When the scene suddenly shifts to the red rays of Sekido as they expand across the battlefield it's suddenly stops and as Shadow realizes that he stares back to see Sereph Sword stabbed deep inside it when the ability shatters
Shadow stares back at Sereph who's now crouched on the ground clutching his right eye as he mumbles to himself
"What is this?"
Flashes of memories that previously was a blur to Sereph became more and more vivid
"Wait are these my...memories?"
As the scene blurs then fades to white as the scenery changed to an white indoor area ruined as black schorch marks destroyed pillers,furniture and floor
We see Sereph as a young boy dressed in ragged white robes running away while tightly holding a younger Jaress is hand as she's dressed in white robes with bloody stains across it
The two of them continue to run as fast as they can while the sounds of dozens maybe even hundreds of people whaling in agony
Suddenly the two children we're surrounded by green flames as the two look back they see a black figure in the figure in the fire and as it's eyes began to glow red it vanishes
Jaress and Sereph look around them when Jaress felt something dripping on her head
It was blood as she her breathing became harshed,her eyes watering and her skin becoming more pale she slowly looks up already knowing what was about her
A monsters with three red eyes a long tongue that swayed around with blood still dripping from it And as Jaress stood there unable to even utter a single word Sereph already knew it was there as they grip each others hands
The monster closed it's mouth and its chest seemingly began to implode until the next moment the monsters let out a deafening scream as it created shock waves almost immediately ending Sereph and Jaress lives right there and then as they fell to the ground blocking there ears as they're live depended on it when it suddenly stopped
All that could be heard was the calm flow of fountain water spewing out from a black obsidian dove
After a while the two children open there eyes in surprise as they looked around in bewilderment
Little Sereph says with concern in his voice
"Where...where are we"
Little Jaress responds
"I...don't exactly know...one moment we we're at the imperial rose corridor...next moment we're here"
Little Sereph responds
"Well as long as we're safe it's okay but–"
Suddenly Sereph was interrupted as the two heard the same terrifying screatch of that monster.
Shivers run down the two's spines as fear gripped them in the throat.
They hurriedly got up and went down a random path attempting to get away from the monster when they turn a corner to see the monster crawling around when it snapped it neck towards they're direction.
It let out another deafining scream as it dashes through the hallway way to catch up to the little children
Sereph and Jaress ran in the opposite direction in an attempt to escape as the turn another corner and see a door when the heard the monster draw closer
The two were only five steps ahead when the monster caught up it lunges at Sereph and attempts to slash his back when suddenly Jaress stepped in and took the attack for Sereph as he opens the door and pulled Jaress in then shut it closed.
Sereph still not realizes what happened looks at Jaress who's now bleeding on the floor
"JARESS!"
Sereph crouches down as he holds her and stares in horror at her injuries
"no...no no no no no...Jaress...please...PLEASE DON'T DIE...DON'T—"
Sereph then here's the door he shut being fiercely banged and scratched as the monster attempts to get in
"No...no...it's going to break in soon...PLEASE ANYONE...HEEEEEEELP US PLEEEAASE!"
Sereph then heard the sound of slow calm footsteps with the echo of a chane when of no where the Plague doctor appears from black mist as he says with calm
"Do not fret my child because I am here"
Sereph stares in astonisment before snapping back to focus as he yells with tears flowing down his eyes
"PLEASE GREAT PLAGUE DOCTOR LORD PLEASE SAVE JARESS...I SHALL DO ANYTHING"
"Anything you say?"
"YES ANYTHING PLEASE JUST SAVE HER"
Plague doctor stays silent for a moment only the sound of the monster attempting to break in is heard before he finally spoke
"Very well"
Suddenly green symbols of crows and roses appear circling around Sereph and Jaress as Plague doctor speaks
"From this day forward you shall be reguared as candidates for my five wing generals and shall be embedded with a seal of relinquishing and restriction of true emotions between each other in exchange to save this girls life"
"YES SIR!"
"very well"
Then crow symbols appeared on the two's arms as Jaress was fully healed
Plague doctor then says
"The contract has been made,now you both will be my loyal servants for as long i wish"
"Thank you Plague Doctor our-"
Before Sereph could finish his sentence the door finally as the monster finally broke in Sereph and Plague doctor stare at the monster but for completely different reasons as Sereph stares in fear
Plague doctor showed no emotion
The monsters lunges at Sereph as he closes his eyes in terror when a few seconds pass and nothing happened.
Sereph opens his eyes to see the monster is gone but he then heard a soft growl from behind him and as he turns around his eyes dialt in shock as he sees Plague doctor pampering it as he strokes it's head
Sereph then says frightened
"Why...why are you doing that to it?"
"Oh it's simple really,this is one of my pets that just returned from having a snack"
"What...a...sn...snack?
"Yes and it seems he must've enjoyed it very much since his such in a good mood"
Sereph stays silent as he grits his teeth
"You...bastard...DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT THING...that...thing"
Images of countess people being eaten or torn by the monster flashes in Sereph minds
When Crack.The sound of something cracking was heard
Sereph falls to the ground as Plague doctor thought
"Oh no it seems our specimen has suffered a spiritual injury...perhaps it's do to your killing spree Zento"
Plague doctor walks towards the unconscious Sereph and places his hand on his forehead as a green glow eminates from His hand
"I shall seal these memories and perhaps alter them so you don't have to be hindered when you become my mightiest general"
The memory then ends as Sereph stares to the ground eyes darkened when a singlr tear fell from his eye before dark red energy enveloped him as he snaps
"PLAAAAAAAAAAGE DOCTOOOOOOOOOOOOR!"
A powerful storm of energy erupts from Sereph and Jaress as the regained there memories
[System message]
[The individual known as Sereph crimson has ascended to a god-level being"
[System message]
[The individual known as Jaress simera has ascended to a god-level being]
Shadow and Doshi then thought of the same thing
"Finally"
When all four of them leaped to the same direction as they stood together
Shadow with Doshi and Sereph with Jaress
The four of them stare at each other before smiling then all four of them readied for the final clash
